Nonlinear vibration arises everywhere in engineering. So far there is no method to track the exact trajectory of a space fractional nonlinear oscillator; therefore, a sophisticated numerical method is much needed to elucidate its basic properties. For this purpose, a numerical method that combines the Fourier spectral method with the Runge–Kutta method is proposed. Its accuracy and efficiency have been demonstrated numerically. This approach has full physical understanding and numerical access; thus, it can be used to solve many types of nonlinear space fractional partial differential equations with periodic boundary conditions.

Non Linear

The object of this note is to indicate a numerical method for finding periodic solutions of a number of important problems in conduction of heat in which the boundary conditions are periodic in the time and may be linear or non-linear. One example is that of a circular cylinder which is heated by friction along the generators through a rotating arc of its circumference, the remainder of the surface being kept at constant temperature; here the boundary conditions are linear but mixed. Another example, which will be discussed in detail below, is that of the variation of the surface temperature of the moon during a lunation; in this case the boundary condition is non-linear. In all cases the thermal properties of the solid will be assumed to be independent of temperature. Only the semi-infinite solid will be considered here, though the method applies equally well to other cases.

The possibility of separating the equation for calculating the electrostatic variables from the energy expression depending on these variables without a large computational penalty provides flexibility in the design of new force fields. </p><div><div><div> </div> </div> </div> <p> </p><div> <div> <div> <p>variables themselves.

AbstractIn this work, we establish optimal Lyapunov-type inequalities for the second-order difference equation with p-Laplacian $$\begin{aligned} \Delta (\left| \Delta u(k-1)\right| ^{p-2}\Delta u(k-1))+a(k)\left| u(k)\right| ^{p-2}u(k)=0 \end{aligned}$$ Δ ( Δ u ( k - 1 ) p - 2 Δ u ( k - 1 ) ) + a ( k ) u ( k ) p - 2 u ( k ) = 0 with Dirichlet, Neumann, mixed, periodic and anti-periodic boundary conditions.
